Trust me, if you are not clean enough they will make you do it over.
Last summer, when I was in the hospital and very sick with C.
Difficile ( a horrible gut infection) and other infections, they prepped
me for a colonoscopy. The doctor decided I was not cleaned out well
enough so I had to do the whole thing over two days later. That cruel
and unusual punishment is not something I ever want to repeat.
